What to work on next?
Cameron Niemela put on those beautiful wheels
Wheels
you shuld work on everything NeXT ;)
Cameron Niemela how about you come to my house and do some stuff on my bike 😂
Supermoto wheels
Cancer cancer go away
Cameron Niemela is here to stay!
keep up the good work👍👌
Oh nice, I spot Neil Young`s song
Can’t wait to see the finished product 🖤
You didn't go wrong with the grease.👍 I've been doing that my whole life and will still continue to grease connections up. Corrosion sucks to deal with, Some times shit just needs to be unplugged and plugged back in to work right😕😕. It was just a unplug and plug it back to fix this problem.👍👍👍 to bad there not all that way to fix😂😂😂
bullfrog machine unplug my crank and replug it 🤣🤣
unplugging and plugging things back, are the electrical equivalent of "turning it off and back on again" with computers.. it often works
you don't use Dielectric grease on connections.
@@johnseipel4102 No, you do use dielectric grease on connections. Its fantastic for connections.
@@Shane03101 its fantastic for connections if you dont want an electric connection
cause dielectric grease is an insulator
some types of plugs dont have problems with the grease as the pins are just cutting through the grease, but othe types wont
so its best to keep the pins free of grease and just use it to seal the housing
The thing i love about you cam is that even though you have got almost 150k subs, you still read and reply to our comments! Great video by the way! Greetings from Norway.
Interesting! glad you figured it out!
Rocky Mountain ATV MC I love your. Channel
Wow you are blessed man you have talent and love seeing this build. I hope you get better and keep on pushing my man. Thanks for all the updates on this build. Love it. Stay blessed!!!!
The amount of detail he puts into the bike...
Great mechanic!
I am rebuilding a 74' Suzuki GT185 and got half my tools from what he suggests.
Your videos teach me more than any other on TH-cam. The technique used and the 'why' its used helps so much for my own little projects. And, I do have a couple in the garage that are not running just right. Thank you for your detail and sharing your knowledge!
Bro chek out chrisfix he also great for cars to do it at home
@@addy.is.live1 thanks for the info
I think it's just that grease was so thick is cause the metal contacts to "float" on a thin film and never got contact. Glad you got it man. We all are always learning. If any guys who works on bikes claims he knows everything... it means he actually doesn't. Because in reality you always are learning new ways, what not to and what has worked in the past etc.
I've never had a problem with dielectric grease, glad you're back
I wanna see that pipe on there and a set of wheels and possibly a sub frame and bars but that’s a lil much for one video out of a build series but definitely wheels and a pipe
Dude I've watched a lot of your videos in the last month or so, I don't usually comment on things but you seem like just a solid guy. You post AWESOME videos that really do detail things, are edited nicely and the way you speak towards this work is just about perfect. So to get to my points....1. Screw cancer! 2. Keep on being your bad self. Love what ya do man and would suck if you ever stopped posting this stuff, it's a pleasure to see and be inspired by.
I appreciate all the work that you show, the work that you do and how you roll.
The excess grease pushed into 2 or more terminal compartments and must have had some moisture in it as well. Once it squeezed into more than one compartment it must have arced. Electricity will find the path of least resistance and it found a better route through the grease to ground before making it where it needed to be.
Love this build and these videos this has always been my hobby I have been awaiting a channel like this for a decade!!!!
Donovan Petersen Dielectric grease is non-conductive. The thin layer of grease kept two of the pins in a connector from contacting, thus an open in the ignition circuit.
@@kaleb97045 you beat me too it! Ive been screaming this exact thing in the comments of the last video hoping to be heard!
The dielectric grease by definition has a very low dielectric resistance. By putting it into the connectors as you did it probably was shorting out across pins in the connector, most likely the kill switch pins. Build is looking great, keep up the good work Cam!!
So happy to see you up Cam! Don't Stop!
Great video Cameron, I really enjoyed watching you diagnose the problem👍
I’ve been rebuilding my own 02 CR250 right along with you but there’s no way mine looks as clean as that beast is going to be when she’s all done. Those wheels are so sick I can’t wait to see them go on!!
Had the same exact thing happen to me. It wasn't the grease. It's the connection, I always plug and un-plug the connectors a few times after they have been separated for a period of time (a month or more). That is what happened, I'm pretty sure. Glad you got it figured out. I can't wait to hear that thing run!!!!
Just finished the build series, and now I’m itching for more. Time to watch everything else until the next vid drops!
Brakes, Wheels, Bars!!
rear shock then maybe bars before wheels so can mount front brake and not zip tie to triple clamp or leave hanging before wheels
Best of luck to you with both your health and the build!!!
Ur bike build has encouraged me to take my bike apart and look at it while cleaning everything with a buffer and painting my frame and swingarm black thanks man
Dielectric grease isn't supposed to go on the metal part of the connectors- IT IS NOT CONDUCTIVE! You go around the perimeter of the plastic connector (where the seals are in the connectors) so the grease makes a seal and water can't get into the plug. "Dielectric grease is electrically insulating and does not break down when high voltage is applied. It is often applied to electrical connectors, particularly those containing rubber gaskets, as a means of lubricating and sealing rubber portions of the connector without arcing." - I've made that mistake before!
my dielectric grease i use is non conductive and i use it almost every day on spark plugs and boots as it has a wicked high melting point ...at my job as a light vehicle mechanic it designed to go on globes and things that play up when get wet to much can cause a short circuit as it is non condictive and stops all the circuits joining together in a wet plug situation stop corrosion but to much can deff be a bad thing
josh012345 yep
Fixed many cars cleaning dielectric grease from electrical contact points. I always used Stabilant 22 for enhancing electrical contacts.
That's looking trick bro can't wait to see it done! 👍 stay strong! !!!!!
Que manera de renegar buscando el problema, buena manera de aprender de los errores, gracias por compartirlo.
I've had the same problem before and now I do the same as you did just a bit around the outside and never have an issue.
Miss you bro happy to see you back and fixed the problem . Keep kicking cancer ass
This build is next level dude I can't wait to see it done. Hope you're feeling better Bud! God bless and wishing you a snappy recovery.
Massive inspiration to many people for sure ! Definitely motivating to get into building bikes
Great job and a lot of help hope you feeling better too cheers Colin
awwwwww YEAAAAAAA
oh btw, that polishing wheel I got from your website is THE bomb. I cant believe how well it woks at making all kinds of metal shiny again. if youre reading this and restore bikes, it is a MUST have for the bench grinder!
Heck yeah man! Happy to hear that!
Cameron Niemela Hey man, is there a way you can fit that wheel on a 5 inch angle grinder?
I knew it was something simple. I've never had this happen before and every time I go through the top end I always used the grease. This dates back to the late 70s haha I'm old . Good going bro - glad to see you back in the shop ! You will be whipping it again soon 😁
Cam; hey bro thanks for kicking out another video, everyone I know says they can’t wait to see this beautiful CR completed. But I think you should get the wheels and drive system put together and buttoned up.
Can't wait to see it rip!
The problem I think is connector oxidation. It’s where the metal oxidates and create a new layer that isolates it from making a good connection. Solve the problem by scraping off the oxidation layer, you can connect and disconnect several times so the metal connectors rubs off the oxidation layer on each other. I recommend to use the connector grease as it will keep water and oxygen away from the metal surface to keep it from oxidation and keep a good connection.
Keep up the good work!
I love both the CR125 and CR250 Build! Two Stroke FOR LIFE! Love the videos man!
Hey Cameron I just wanted to say I love you videos and hope you get better
Some grease actually ruins electrical connections. Happened to me at yr age. Great learning experience
I’m guessing it was a funky connection. That grease shouldn’t have caused an issue. And Dielectric grease is non conductive so it can’t short out anything. I’ve used that stuff for years and slop it on pretty heavy and have never had an issue. Glad everything is working for ya, can’t wait to see her finished!
Made this same mistake a few years back when putting a new set of plugs and wires on... its crazy that they don't mention not to put it directly on the contact surface but throw it in the bag with the wires. Glad you got her sorted she is looking amazing! Looking forward to your next video!! You are an inspiration to us all!! #CamStrong
I love your videos they are more that a blast to watch your videos teaches us how to do things and that help us learn about bikes and because of you I want to take a build of my own on and you are a huge inspiration to me with being so strong with cancer and still making these videos and if I have the money I would pay for all of your cancer expenses in a hart beat because how amazing you are.
I use a Q tip to apply a very thin film. Too much will cause resistance and push them apart from each other or even act as an insulator. Hard grease can be used to drive pilot bearings out so that grease probably pushed those wire terminals inside away from each other
It’s was the BOOT !!! I am telling you man !!!!!! You’ve just gotten lucky putting it back together. you need to do what I said and strip the wire back farther and re-crimp, so if you run into trouble down the road you know what to do.......... just a suggestion
Excellent! Cant wait to see this thing in the dirt. Looking good brother!
I can't wait to see the bike done. It's going to sweet!
nice man, score! one tool i like to use for that, is my spark checker light. just a little cord with an inline light, that links into the coil and plug so you can see 100% if your bike has spark or not. makes life a little easier
When you were looking to measure in ohms resistance, there were a couple of times when you were looking at kilohms which completely threw off a few of your measurments. Also, dielectric grease is just designed to seal the connector. Dielectric literally means non-conductive.
Hello Cameron Love your channel ,on the flip side you can buy conductive grease but you have to despence it very carefully can cause shorts
But works great with worn or misaligned connectors
Yay a whole video on how to grease and clean some wires . Just to wait a whole week just to see him put the tires on
I’m glad to see you are feeling better Cameron 💪🏻
From what I remember "dielectric" is another word for non-conductive, so it could very well be there was too much grease in there, isolating the contacts. Btw love your work! Keep it up!
This build is awesome i cant wait to see this beast running
Shock, wheels, handlebars, and/or exhaust. Bike is looking amazing thanks to your great skills!
its nice to see your explaning everything for the people with 2 left hands :P
the CR is becoming factory new! (y)
hope you're doing good buddy! can't wait to see how that lectron carb works out
Thanks man! Me too!
Definitely subframe, bars, pipe and maybe the controls. I'd kill to have this bike when its finished 🤩
I never put grease in the connection if I'm doing a complete rebuild all I do is clean the connection with solvent and soapy water and blow it clean with my compressor ,,I can tell what you did wrong ,you can put dielectric grease but it has to be very min, because it creates to much resistance in the control module so after you cleaned it out it worked ,most dirt bike plugs now days have weather pack plugs and don't need any grease ,just clean only ,I'm not trying to talk shit to or anything ,I think what you do is very good work it's awesome and you have alot of pride in what you do ,I have alot of that in me I just don't have the time to be able to do that for my customers, I clean all my customers motors off free if grease or oil stains and that's about as far as I go if it's something speacial or a show piece then that's different but to make money its not the best way to go time wise for me
Happy to see another video Cameron hope you are feeling better man keep up the work cant wait for you to get done with the bike
Love you so much man, no homo. It great to see another fantastic video. Your gonna kick cancers ass. Keep up the great content!
ACDELCO Makes a dielectric lubricant which is specifically for the terminals to help stop "terminal fretting" or aka "bad connections". ACDELCO also makes dielectric SILICONE GREASE which is not for use with terminals. This GREASE is for Spark plug boots and the like only to help seal off boots and keep them from sticking when you go to pull the boots back off. Please don't get them mixed up.
Hey, just a hint from a electrical engineer: on all connectors newer than 1980 never use any kind of grease. You want a good metal to metal connection and don‘t have any isolating grease between it. Onyl use grease on the seals if they look dirty or old
I've ran into that with the grease. Its actually the spring part of the individual pins. When they get weak over years they build low spring pressure and when you add the grease it causes a disconnect where the spring side hits the flat side. Take a spring hook and bend the spring side outward and it will fix it for years to come. If not your likely to have the issue eventually show up even without the grease. Hope this helps. Best wishes!!
Thanks for another great one
I know it's gotta take a lot outta ya to do these now. So I'm super appreciative!
Stay strong 💪
Doesn't matter what you do first Cameron, as long as you are feeling allright!
It's gonna be a great build anyway!!
cant wait to see the finished product
Wow, I think I did the same thing and it was a huge mystery. Thanks for the build/ help video. Your the best!
Hey Cameron, glad to see you back! I hope the treatment is going well. You've got me hooked on this build....:-)
My uncle is a mechanic and turned me on to that electric grease. He swears by it. I have used it on everything for a while now and have never had that issue.
great video! That troubleshooting breakdown is awesome knowledge to share. I usually try to swap out parts, but now I can bust out the multi-meter. Thanks Cam
On the other hand dielectric means "isolant" so it did it's job. In your case you need conductive grease which would better work (but in this case you need to put it just on the metal part of the connectors and be gentle with the quantity to prevent any short circuit). But nice you figured it out even tho it was the hard way
Nice video. Good to see you are back building! Hope all is well Cameron.
Great to see you again excellent problem solving video hope your well and fighting fit 🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🛠🛠🔩🛠🛠🔨🔧🏍🏍🏍🖒🖒🖒👍👍👍👍🖒🖒😆😆😆😆😆🏍
The same thing happened to me once. I swapped out a wiring harness on an old dirt bike, thought I was doing a good thing by packing all the connections full of grease. Went to start it and it wouldn't start, no spark. I even swapped to the old harness and still no luck. Figured out that the grease caused the issue, even swapping the harness the grease from the coil, etc. were still on it so it wouldn't work with the old harness either. Someone informed me that di-electric is an insulator and not to be used directly on connections. Putting it around the connectors like you did later in the video is the correct way to do it.
Anyway, I wished I saw this video when I had my issues because I spent a lot of time trying to figure it out lol.
Hey man great to see you back and looking good, you started well with the stator then the coil with the process, I would have continued that with the connectors!
just with electrical stuff, I would have re tested the spark after you cleaned out the first plug, if you do multiple points you won’t diagnose exactly what was wrong, it’s slower but lest you will be 100% sure if all the contact points were affected by the grease or just one connector, plus it confirms the grease issue or eliminates it, I spent 15 years as a fault diagnostic tech, you can tear your hair out over the smallest things,.
Good work though the bike is looking amazing every video. 🤙
Glad you got the issue sorted Cam. Btw.... Not a good idea to hold the spark plug wire with bare hands, when your cranking the engine over ,since it has big voltage and if your hands are even slightly damp, it could give you a nasty belt ⚡️💥. We all learn the hard way sometimes 😁✊🏽. I think the wheels need to go on next 👍🏽
Great seeing you and your build again, great job as always.
Like if ya love this bike 😍
Been waiting for his vid to come out for so long. Glad ur back buddy
Now that you got good spark, grease the conections again like you did the first time, to see if it really was the problem. If it was, you can always clean them again. I'm curious to know if it really was the problem. Great vid👍
Put on rads and tank and exhaust. to start break in that way any other engine issues can be addressed early on in the build
Good stuff Cameron. The grease stops the contacts from actually touching each other, It's non-conductive.
I would love to see a set of wheels and the exhaust pipe on the bike in the next video. love your stuff dude:)
Your videos, especially this project are super cool and you got a great attitude on all of this. Keep doing it!!
Me encanta como trabajas, saludos desde Argentina.
The spark plug lead from the ignition coil also has a screw terminal connection, and needs to be clean and tight.. Sometimes just by wiggling the wire, will make the connection conductive again..
Maybe it did have spark the first time, but you didnt see it because of the lights. If you are testing a spark its always good to put finger on the spark plug and feel if it kicks you :)
anyway awesome build
Great video great to see you. I literally been waiting for your next video. Keep fighting man you have a ton of people behind you. I'm sure there is alot of us including myself who look up to you. Keep being a great person and a true pioneer in present day bike customization at home. turning old bikes into beautiful pieces of art and sharing it with everyone so they can expand their creative process as well. Thank you Cameron
Dude this build series is brilliant love your videos man , keep fighting the battle bud you can do it !!!
El famosísimo Cameron Niemela, como siempre un trabajo pulido y entretenido, el tiempo se pasa rapido viendo estos videos, gracias!
Cameron você é sempre uma grande inspiração para todos nós!!
Eu acabei de concluir um curso de mecânica de motos, e aprendo muito com seus vídeos, eles são ótimos!
Um abraço do Brasil!
Karalho finalmente mais um brasileiro vendo os vídeos dele
Mais um
Glad to see you back brother! I'm Soo jealous of this build. It's gonna be beautiful. Thanks for sharing and keep kickin ass💪🤘
Can’t wait for this to be finished man, good luck with it!
It’s usually the last thing you would expect when it comes to diagnosing auto electrical faults. Take it back to the basics my tafe lecturer would say 😂👌🏼👏🏼
Putting non conductive dielectric grease on the terminals themselves relies on the terminals having some sharp edge to scrape away enough grease to make good contact, some terminals like bullet connectors don't have that where most spade terminals probably do.
That said, the terminal blocks have moisture seals and simply greasing the seal will be good enough to keep out moisture enough to stop any oxidisation of the terminals.
I just traded my cr250 for an rmz450 2013 model, i miss it already. I plan on doing another build from the ground up.
I had a problem with that exact same dielectric grease on my XR650R CDI after a rebuild. Didn't show up until months later. Died in the middle of a ride. Went through carb 2X. Finally started with electrics. Pulled CDI connection off and the grease had got gunky/corroded. CLeaned it all and it started and ran but wouldn't run above idle. Replaced the plug and that fixed it. Apparently the CDI caused the plug to go out.
Ive never had a problem with greasing connections. And I use way more then you did. You could have possibly put the plug boot back on tighter making a better connection?? Awesome build
Hope your doing good man. Bike is looking great
It's called terminal fretting. There is nothing wrong with with the dielectric grease just put it on liberally. Beautiful build by the way! Keep up the great job.
